The trilateral declaration has become a new opportunity for the region, but Armenia continues to ignore its commitments, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said at a conference in Baku dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Khojaly genocide, Report informs.
“The 44-day war ended with a great victory and the trilateral statement became a new opportunity for the region, the opening of a new post-conflict period. Despite all the pain of the past, the Azerbaijani side showed readiness to normalize cooperation with Armenia. But, unfortunately, Armenia continues to ignore its commitments,” said the foreign minister.
He added that the most important issue at present is the restoration of the liberated Azerbaijani territories and ensuring the safety of the people who will live there. In this regard, the demining of these territories remains the main problem.
The foreign minister noted that since November 2020, Azerbaijan continues to suffer casualties, people continue to die from mines, while Armenia “continues to play around issuing maps of minefields.”
Also, during the first Karabakh war, more than 3,000 people went missing, and despite all the steps taken, Armenia didn’t provide information about them, Bayramov added.
